Steve,

This was an extremely difficult gun to do. It normally doesn't take him that long. There was a major issue with the back strap having been cut down flat to attach a stock lug. It was nearly paper thin in areas. It was really butchered, but there was no way to tell how badly this pistol was until Ted got into it. I think he bit off more than he could chew, but he obviously pulled it off. It was extraordinary craftsmanship to build that rear strap back up again "from nothing", restoring the contours and ultimately the gun.
